Abstract
The distribution of Aul98 following intraperitoneal injection has been studied by analysis of autopsy specimens from 2 patients. A method of calculating the [beta] dosage from the concentration of the disseminated radioisotope is described. Many of the tissues receive a considerable additional dosage of gamma radiation from the residual Au198 in the abdominal cavity.Keywords
